If human and octopus DNA has the same 'jumping genes,' then it would seem chance evolution of the same characteristic can happen with different species.
Researchers identified LINE transposons in octopus brains that are similar to the human brain, which could explain their intelligence.
It is already established that octopuses are intelligent beings, even more so than other invertebrate species. A new discovery uncovered as to why this is so - their brain shares similarity with that of humans.
Scientists have already established that octopuses are smarter than your average invertebrate, but a new discovery suggests one of the reasons why: a specific molecular analogy with the human brain.
Study shows two species of octupus have same molecular analogy as human brain
